lism. The dynamic interaction between microbiota and zinc was shown. Human
studies have provided evidence of the influence of probiotic bacteria on parathormone, calcium, and phosphate levels and thus on bone re-absorption. Recent studies
have produced new information mainly on the impact of the intestinal bacteria on
the metabolism of calcium and iron. From a scientific perspective, the most urgent
fields that remain to be investigated are the identification of all human gut microbes
and new therapies targeting the interaction between intestinal bacteria and minerals
[15, 17, 18].
Animals as well as human feed their gut bacteria, which are totally dependent on
their host for giving the basic nutrients for growth and maintenance of the bacterial
population. Food intake is pursuing by cephalic reflex-mediated moment of nutrients into the gut, which stimulate the gut–brain satiety pathways via releasing the
intestinal hormones. Nutrient infusion into the large intestine activates immediate
bacterial growth that lasts for 20 min. The dynamics of the formal nutrient-induced
growth of bacteria are comparable to the dynamics of food-induced intestinal satiety hormone (for example, PYY) production. Bacterial metabolites and molecules,
whose release directly depend on bacterial growth phases, control intestinal release
of satiety hormones. Systemic bacterial molecules directly activate central appetite
pathways that might integrate the energy status of both the host and its gut microbiota [17, 18].
Prevention and Treatment Strategies
Phytochemicals and Endocrine Health
Anti-oxidants prevent from free radical damage. The rich source of anti-oxidants
are fresh vegetable including both green leafy spinach, asparagus, collard, cucumber, Kale, coriander, and bright colored vegetables such as bell pepper, cabbage
tomato, and carrots. Polyphenols, alkaloids, and terpenoids found in fruits, vegetables, and fungi are helpful in balancing hormones [19].
Avoid or Restricts Food Toxins
Hormones are in state of constant fluctuations. Hormonal imbalance is epidemic
these days due to lots of factors but the primary reason is the food of a person. The
food industry is loaded with chemicals, colorants, preservatives, high amount of
refined sugars. Fast foods also contain huge amount of salts and Tran’s fats. All
these chemicals can result in abnormal hormone. The avoidance of bad foods like
lots of colorants processed foods and extra sodium is also important for making
harmony among hormones [20].
